I dont have my FSM on me right now so maybe someone else can look up those colors if that's what you're talking about at each door switch there are two thick wires going to the window motor - I think they're both blue with some stripe (red and white maybe). You give one ground and the other 12V and the window will go one way, switch the 12V and ground and it'll go the other way not sure if that helps at all, but that's how the windows work :) : ie which one is for the up and which is for the down...please don't ask me what i'm doing...:( Replys: yeah i kinda figured that was the case... lophix (91se) 18:31:59 9/19/2003 (1) thinking bout it now, i doubt i can go too wrong... lophix (91se) 18:40:18 9/19/2003 (0)
